The Southeastern Conference (SEC) has released a statement regarding a controversial officiating decision in the Georgia-Texas football game. With 3:12 remaining in the third quarter, Texas intercepted a pass at their own 46-yard line and returned it to the 9-yard line. However, Texas was initially flagged for defensive pass interference on Jahdae Barron. After a discussion among the officials, the call was reversed when the calling official admitted to an error. The reversal led to frustration among Texas fans, who threw bottles and other debris onto the field. The SEC has stated that the behavior of the fans will be reviewed by the league office.
